Figure Lengend Snippet: TRIM33 attenuates the fibrosis induced by HSPB5. a. The qRT-PCR analysis was used to clarify the expression of HSPB5. b-c. EDU immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect the proliferation rate of CFs. d-e. The migration assay was used to confirm the migration of CFs in four groups. f-g. The Coll I and a-SMA expression level was determined by Western blot. Each experiment was conducted three times independently. *P < 0.05,**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
